What is the Ashtanga Primary Series?
The Primary Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa is the first of six sequences in the tradition. It is called Yoga Chikitsa, yoga therapy, because it is designed to cleanse and align the body.
Practising the full Primary builds heat, strength and a deep familiarity with the body's patterns. It's a long, focussed class that asks for some prior experience.
Who it's for
Best for students who can already comfortably move through sun salutations and the standing sequence. New to Ashtanga? Come to a Led class first.
What to expect
- Full Primary Series plus half of the Second Series, taught with the traditional vinyasa count.
- Strong focus on Ujjayi breath, drishti, and bandhas.
- Hands-on adjustments and verbal guidance throughout.
